“President Trump is the best friend that Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the White House and will be remembered in Jewish history forever," said Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent interview with BlazeTV. Netanyahu added, "the vast majority of Israelis adore America and adore President Trump. He is a real rock star in Israel."
In a new book, "Trump and the Jews," author David Rubin asks a question that many are wondering, “How can a president who has been so good for the Jewish people, fail to receive the liberal American Jewish community’s support?”
"Trump and the Jews" explains that while the majority of Jewish Americans voted for Hillary Clinton, there is a strong and growing part of the Jewish community that appreciate, and even “adore” President Trump.
Rubin notes that among one of President Trump’s important achievements is the Taylor Force Act, signed into law on March 23, 2018, and aimed at stopping American economic aid to the Palestinian Authority until the PA stops paying the salaries of imprisoned terrorists and the families of deceased terrorists.
The author also cites Trump’s other key policy decisions regarding Israel, including his nullification of the Iranian nuclear deal, and Israel’s embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Through this book, Rubin hopes to offer knowledge to Jewish and Christian supporters of Israel who want to know how to fight for the Israel-American relationship.
In a particularly glowing review, Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media, declared, “David Rubin’s "Trump and the Jews" is a powerful and true account of President Trump’s transformation of America’s relationship with Israel, creating a new opportunity for peace. A great read!”
Rubin hopes that his book may pave the way for peace, since genuine peace must be based on truth and historical precedent, virtues to which Rubin believes Trump is dedicated, as compared to former U.S. Presidents who erroneously bolstered the “land for peace” formula.
“The Oslo Accords 27 years ago was one of the greatest mistakes in world history, as it led to intense waves of Muslim terrorism that the world had never before experienced,” said Rubin to Breaking Israel News. “Israel is the size of New Jersey and to hand over historical places in the biblical heartland to the Palestinian Authority, which includes several terrorist organizations, is insane and would not bring peace. Trump understands that it’s a big problem to talk about peace in terms of land for peace.”
With the upcoming American sponsored conference in Bahrain focused on economic investment in Palestinian areas, and the much awaited Trump peace plan, all eyes are on President Trump. It would certainly be remarkable if this unorthodox American president can achieve what no other political leader could. One thing is certain, however, and that is, that while many American Jews were initially skeptical of Donald Trump, as Yair Netanyahu said, more and more Jews in America and in Israel are starting to see President Donald Trump as a “rockstar.”
